Hey guys, I have to catch up on here again, I’ve just been loving the opportunity to work outside in this weather. I have a question for you all. A neighbor’s dog came through and killed two chicks that my broodies had been raising. I’m not sure if any of the other couple of chickens that...

Hey Dennis, I’d love some more CCLs, and I have some neighbors asking for some layers also. I’d be happy to reimburse you for whatever they give me for the hens. Do you have any of the hackle Roos left ? My main Roo got snatched, and I’d love a pretty boy.

You beat me to it. I have close to 40 birds in my coop, and it’s a 12x10 shed. But they only sleep and lay eggs in there. I have to do some serious repairs this spring though. I knew my floor was feeling squishy near the door, but the last time I was in my hands and knees cleaning the...

I love it when flock integration works out well. The two broody Mamas are doing great. The white turkey seems to be particularly good at chasing away anybody she doesn’t like around her peeps. Of course we don’t want fights in our flocks, but it’s great to see the Mama’s get in a tussle to...

I’m so sorry for the loss in your family. Sending my sympathies. :hugs Welcome to the fun!

So I figured out why my turkey wouldn’t take to the new black chicks. Apparently, she thought the first batch were her chicks also. She is not very vocal, so they don’t seem to respond to her, but they may come around. If you look at the pictures of Ruby below, you can see three chicks...

Yeah, it is sad. Apparently there were over a thousand. :( My turkey is not being a very good broody Mom though, so I took the chicks from her. This morning, there was a broody duck in the same nesting box, and 3 chicks had gotten trampled and died. I am going to create a separate area for...

Okay, I forgot to mention that the Muscovy duck with the large brown marking on his head (in the front) has been named Fat Albert. I thought something was wrong with him at first because he laid around most of the time. But he’s just so big. He is also the calmest, though he does bite my hand...

Hi Picture time! I had divided and given away a bunch of peony’s and irises last year. I didn’t get around to planting this last bit, and I was surprised to see they just started in the planter anyways! :eek: So I got this picture and text from a neighbor. Her daughter works at a local...

Catch up time! Hope you did well! I read later you were able to sell 14. You go girl! Hi and welcome! Welcome to the fun! Hello to you too! Get ready for chicken math... :lau This is excellent advice. I remember when I got my shed/coop @Auroradream26 (I think) advised me to have it...

She is indeed! She was a re home from my next door neighbor. This is her second time brooding chicks.

Thus hilarious! I just sold a couple of poults from @dheltzel to my neighbor this afternoon. I had to warn her if you want them as pets, spend a lot of time with them. I had two extras left over, so I quick snuck them under the broody turkey.

I’m so sorry. She was a cutie. :hugs

The two broodies seem to be doing a great job of accepting the new chicks so far. It hasn’t been long, but they’re both experienced broody moms.

Thank goodness I had that little camera on them. A few minutes later I caught on of the ducks in the chick box. :barnie:lol:

Here they are in their temporary home. Most will be put under the broody girls tomorrow, when I can supervise. Check out those snoopervising ducks. :old

Close! 26 + 6 for a neighbor that are already sold. You are correct. Although that was an easy guess. :lol: Thanks again @dheltzel !

I’m going to @dheltzel ’s house of chicks tonight. How many will I come home with? :oops:
